Ground Fault Protection and Ground Fault Relays
Ground faults represent the vast majority of electrical faults experienced in most facilities. In fact, studies have indicated that ground faults make up more than 95% of the recorded electrical faults. By quickly detecting the fault and initiating the appropriate response, ground-fault relays improve safety for workers and equipment without affecting the uptime of critical operations. Important in manufacturing environments, sensitive ground-fault relays with advanced filtering will detect the breakdown in insulation caused by moisture, vibration, chemicals, and dust.
